Nintendo DS getting Slimed in Japan

Square Enix announced today that it will release the sequel to its Slime Morimori Dragon Quest: Shougeki No Shippo Dan on the Nintendo DS. The game is tentatively set to be named Slime Morimori Dragon Quest 2, and no release date or price has been provided for it yet.

The original Slime Morimori Dragon Quest was released on the Game Boy Advance in November of 2003. Gamers controlled the Dragon Quest series' Slime character--a ball of sludge--and adventured using various actions that took advantage of its elastic form, such as stretching out and recoiling.

Specific details and screenshots on Slime Morimori Dragon Quest 2 haven't been released yet, but the game will play like the original and will take full advantage of the DS's double screen. More details will be released in this month’s V Jump magazine, which is set to hit stores on March 19.
